Bellator 249 will feature the highly anticipated bout between Bellator Women’s Featherweight Champion Cris Cyborg (22-2, 1 NC) and Arlene Blencowe (13-7). The reigning title holder easily bounced back with huge victories over Felicia Spencer and Julia Budd; however, Blencowe is coming off two impressive TKO wins over Amber Leibrock and Amanda Bell.

In the co-main event, former Bellator Lightweight Champion Patricky Freire (23-9) is scheduled to fight newcomer Jaleel Willis (13-2). Freire will be making his return following the Rizin Lightweight Grand Prix, with the veteran winning the four of his last five fights. Willis is making his Bellator return as well following his LFA Welterweight Championship win at LFA 88. The 28-year-old is currently on a four-fight winning streak.
